Initially, most vaccine experts predicted that mRNA vaccines like the ones made by Pfizer and Moderna that are injected into someone’s arm muscle would generate only the kinds of antibodies that circulate throughout the body.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that might not be the whole story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think what was the big surprise here is that the mRNA vaccines are going beyond that,” says Michal Caspi Tal, until recently an instructor at Stanford University’s Institute for Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine and now a visiting scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What Tal has found is that in addition to the circulating antibodies, there was a surprisingly large amount of antibodies in mucosal membranes in the nose and mouth, two of the primary entry points for the coronavirus.\u003cbr>\n[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>“We’re not sitting ducks”\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Immunologist Jennifer Gommerman of the University of Toronto found this as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is the first example where we can show that a local mucosal immune response is made, even though the person got the vaccine in an intramuscular delivery,” Gommerman says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If there are antibodies in the mucosal membranes, they would likely be coating any virus that got into the nose or throat. So any virus that was exhaled by a sneeze or a cough would likely be less infectious.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gommerman says that until now, it seemed likely that a vaccine that was delivered directly to the mucosal tissue was the only way to generate antibodies in the nose or throat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Obviously a mucosal vaccination would be great, too. But at least we’re not sitting ducks,” Gommerman says. “Otherwise everyone would be getting breakthrough infection.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These studies by Gommerman and Tal have yet to undergo peer review, and some already have suggested that the antibodies they have described may not confer true mucosal immunity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there’s other evidence that a vaccinated person’s breakthrough infection may not transmit efficiently to others.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marion Pepper, an immunologist at the University of Washington, says a recent study from the Netherlands looked at how well virus from vaccinated people could infect cells in the lab.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pepper says the answer was not well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you actually isolate virus from people who are getting a secondary infection after being vaccinated, that virus is less good at infecting cells,” Pepper says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label ='More Coverage' tag='coronavirus']“It’s not known why. Is it covered with an antibody? Maybe,” she said. “Has it been hit by some other kind of immune mediators, cytokines, things like that? Maybe. Nobody really knows. But the virus does seem to be less viable coming from a vaccinated person.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More studies are emerging that suggest there’s something different about the virus coming from a vaccinated person, something that may help prevent transmission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whatever it is, the University of Colorado’s Kedl says it’s one more reason that getting vaccinated is a good idea.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Because you’re going to be even more protected yourself. And you’re going to be better off protecting other people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kedl says that’s what you call a win-win situation.\u003cbr>\n[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Initially, most vaccine experts predicted that mRNA vaccines like the ones made by Pfizer and Moderna that are injected into someone’s arm muscle would generate only the kinds of antibodies that circulate throughout the body.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that might not be the whole story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think what was the big surprise here is that the mRNA vaccines are going beyond that,” says Michal Caspi Tal, until recently an instructor at Stanford University’s Institute for Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine and now a visiting scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What Tal has found is that in addition to the circulating antibodies, there was a surprisingly large amount of antibodies in mucosal membranes in the nose and mouth, two of the primary entry points for the coronavirus.\u003cbr>\n\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

So any virus that was exhaled by a sneeze or a cough would likely be less infectious.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gommerman says that until now, it seemed likely that a vaccine that was delivered directly to the mucosal tissue was the only way to generate antibodies in the nose or throat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Obviously a mucosal vaccination would be great, too. But at least we’re not sitting ducks,” Gommerman says. “Otherwise everyone would be getting breakthrough infection.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These studies by Gommerman and Tal have yet to undergo peer review, and some already have suggested that the antibodies they have described may not confer true mucosal immunity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there’s other evidence that a vaccinated person’s breakthrough infection may not transmit efficiently to others.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marion Pepper, an immunologist at the University of Washington, says a recent study from the Netherlands looked at how well virus from vaccinated people could infect cells in the lab.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pepper says the answer was not well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you actually isolate virus from people who are getting a secondary infection after being vaccinated, that virus is less good at infecting cells,” Pepper says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Farmers have pumped so much water from aquifers in this part of California that they’ve become depleted, threatening water supplies for agriculture and communities that depend on wells for their household water. The Sustainable Groundwater Management Act, or SGMA, passed in 2014 is just now taking effect and it strictly limits the amount that farmers can pump from those aquifers, and those limits could put some farmers out of business.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Water-capturing basins like this one, however, offer farmers a way to survive. That’s because the \u003ca href=\"https://water.ca.gov/programs/groundwater-management/sgma-groundwater-management\">new law treats the underground aquifer like a bank account\u003c/a>. If farmers deposit water into that account when water is plentiful, they can draw more water out when they need it, in years of drought. “It really is the difference between our community surviving and not,” Fukuda says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11891272\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1455px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11891272 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/10/farmer3.jpg\" alt=\"A man wearing a dress shirt, jeans, and a baseball cap bends over to look at a row of grapes growing in an agricultural field.\" width=\"1455\" height=\"964\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/10/farmer3.jpg 1455w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/10/farmer3-800x530.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/10/farmer3-1020x676.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/10/farmer3-160x106.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1455px) 100vw, 1455px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jon Reiter, an adviser to several agricultural companies, checks out a vineyard that the owner could convert into a site to capture and store water. \u003ccite>(Dan Charles/NPR)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>Floods are going from nuisance to lifeline\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In the past, many Californians considered the winter floods a nuisance, Fukuda says. Now, that has now changed completely. “It’s liquid gold,” he says. “Cold, crisp floodwater is gold these days.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Farmers and water managers in the southern part of the Central Valley, \u003ca href=\"https://water.ca.gov/programs/groundwater-management/bulletin-118/critically-overdrafted-basins\">where the water problem is most severe\u003c/a>, are grasping at the water banking idea like a lifeline. Jon Reiter, a rancher and water consultant, works with some of them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"Don Cameron, owner of Terranova Ranch\"]‘A lot of people were skeptical … they thought we were crazy. That we were going to kill our vineyard.’[/pullquote]He shows me a field of grapes, destined to become raisins. The soil is sandy and looks as if it could absorb any water that landed here. There’s an embankment around three sides of the field already. “You could imagine how much water you could store in the ground in a location like this,” Reiter says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The owner of this field, he says, “has made the determination that he would be willing to actually remove the raisins” and use the land instead to capture water. The water he would “sink” might be more valuable to him than his raisin crop because it could earn him the right to pump more water from the aquifer during a future drought to irrigate other fields.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Don Cameron, the owner of Terranova Ranch near the town of Helm in Fresno County, has even bigger ambitions. Cameron’s farm relies almost entirely on groundwater. He’s been watching the underground water level fall for years and worrying about the future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ten years ago, during a winter with lots of rain, he decided to flood some vineyards and orchards, to see if he could replenish the aquifer without even clearing land for a dedicated “recharge basin.” “A lot of people were skeptical, our neighbors especially,” Cameron says. “I mean, they thought we were crazy. That we were going to kill our vineyard.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"science_1976952\" hero=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/35/2021/09/WINE-DROUGHT-ROMERO-3-1020x765.jpg\"]In fact, the grapevines and trees survived just fine, and the experiment boosted groundwater levels below his field. Further experiments, some carried out in collaboration with researchers at UC Davis, confirmed the feasibility of this “on-farm recharge.” Now Cameron is persuading his neighbors to do the same thing. Together, they could potentially flood tens of thousands of acres.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is only possible, though, because Cameron happens to be in a fortunate location, right next to a branch of the Kings River, which in turn is connected to a big canal that’s a major artery in California’s vast water distribution system. That channel is bone-dry at the moment, but in years of heavy rains, it can fill with water.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many other farmers who are dependent on groundwater, and who will be hit hardest by the new law limiting its use, can’t make “deposits” in their underground bank account because they have no access to floodwater. They’re not connected to the network of ditches and canals that would be needed to carry floodwaters to their fields.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11891276\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1451px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11891276\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/10/farmer4.jpg\" alt=\"The canal resembles a ditch, in a very dry and somewhat barren terrain.

For one thing, there still won’t be enough water available to fully recharge the aquifers.

The platform and its Instagram and WhatsApp siblings play key roles in commerce, with some companies relying on Facebook's network instead of their own websites.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But on Monday, that network came crashing down. It wasn't a hack, Facebook said, but rather a self-inflicted problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An update to Facebook's routers that coordinate network traffic went wrong, sending a wave of disruptions rippling through its systems. As a result, all things Facebook were effectively shut down, worldwide.\u003cbr>\n[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>So, what happened?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>This week's outage struck around 11:40 a.m. ET. At about 6:30 p.m. ET, the company announced that it had resolved the problem and was bringing services back online.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11890948\" hero=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/10/GettyImages-1344804031-1020x702.jpg\"]In an update on the outage, Facebook said that \"[c]onfiguration changes on the backbone routers that coordinate network traffic between our data centers\" blocked their ability to communicate and set off a cascade of network failures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That explanation suggests the problem arose between Facebook and the Border Gateway Protocol, a vital tool underlying the internet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Border Gateway Protocol is often compared with the GPS system or the Postal Service. Similar to ideas like map coordinates or ZIP codes, the system tells the rest of the world where to route traffic and information.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When a company can't use the gateway protocol, it's as if their online domains simply don't exist. But that didn't stop webpages, searches and messages from looking for Facebook's properties. And that, in turn, led to other problems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Many organizations saw network disruptions and slowness thanks to billions of devices constantly asking for the current coordinates of facebook.com, instagram.com and whatsapp.com,\" tech expert Brian Krebs noted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The outage came as Facebook faces intense scrutiny over its products and policies — including a whistleblower who is testifying before a Senate subcommittee on Tuesday — prompting some to wonder whether the company had been hacked. But the company said it was simply \"a faulty configuration change.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Facebook also stressed that there is \"no evidence that user data was compromised as a result of this downtime.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Why did the outage last so long?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The problem was made worse — and its solution more elusive — because the outage also whacked Facebook's own internal systems and tools that it relies on for daily operations. Employees also reportedly faced difficulty in physically reaching the space where the routers are housed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"From a technical perspective, they're going to have to review what they do and how they've designed things,\" cybersecurity expert Barrett Lyon said in an interview with NPR.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The outage cost the company tens of millions of dollars, MarketWatch says, comparing the company's lost hours with its most recent revenue report.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The disruption stands as one of Facebook's worst setbacks since a 2019 incident that took the platform offline for nearly 24 hours — an outage that, like Monday's, was attributed to a change in Facebook's server configuration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yesterday's Facebook outage lasted nearly an entire working day, leaving some businesses rattled and online habits frustrated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many people use Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp to share photos and videos with their family and friends, but many businesses use the platforms as a primary tool, using them to advertise, connect with customers and sell products and services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label ='Related Coverage' tag='tech']Christopher Sumner, the owner of Lowcountry Overstock, a small clothing store based in South Carolina, says that while Monday's outage didn't severely impact sales, his main concern was losing touch with customers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We've had longer periods when we've been locked out of Facebook completely, but our main concern was customer relations and not being able to communicate with customers,\" Sumner told NPR.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sumner said they regularly make sales on Facebook Marketplace, the website's ecommerce platform. Despite Monday's disruption, Sumner says the recent outage isn't enough to make him take his business completely off Facebook.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"While yes, there's been a few operational problems from the beginning with Facebook Marketplace, we wouldn't move our entire business or any portion of it, just because the sales are so good,\" Sumner said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>Editor's note\u003c/strong>: Facebook is among NPR's financial supporters.\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\n[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Similar to ideas like map coordinates or ZIP codes, the system tells the rest of the world where to route traffic and information.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When a company can't use the gateway protocol, it's as if their online domains simply don't exist. But that didn't stop webpages, searches and messages from looking for Facebook's properties. And that, in turn, led to other problems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Many organizations saw network disruptions and slowness thanks to billions of devices constantly asking for the current coordinates of facebook.com, instagram.com and whatsapp.com,\" tech expert Brian Krebs noted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The outage came as Facebook faces intense scrutiny over its products and policies — including a whistleblower who is testifying before a Senate subcommittee on Tuesday — prompting some to wonder whether the company had been hacked. But the company said it was simply \"a faulty configuration change.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Facebook also stressed that there is \"no evidence that user data was compromised as a result of this downtime.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Why did the outage last so long?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The problem was made worse — and its solution more elusive — because the outage also whacked Facebook's own internal systems and tools that it relies on for daily operations. Employees also reportedly faced difficulty in physically reaching the space where the routers are housed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"From a technical perspective, they're going to have to review what they do and how they've designed things,\" cybersecurity expert Barrett Lyon said in an interview with NPR.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The outage cost the company tens of millions of dollars, MarketWatch says, comparing the company's lost hours with its most recent revenue report.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The disruption stands as one of Facebook's worst setbacks since a 2019 incident that took the platform offline for nearly 24 hours — an outage that, like Monday's, was attributed to a change in Facebook's server configuration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yesterday's Facebook outage lasted nearly an entire working day, leaving some businesses rattled and online habits frustrated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many people use Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp to share photos and videos with their family and friends, but many businesses use the platforms as a primary tool, using them to advertise, connect with customers and sell products and services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, or EEOC, says employers must provide reasonable accommodations for workers who have sincerely held religious beliefs — unless doing so poses an undue hardship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First, employers may probe whether an employee’s religious belief is in fact sincere.
